What are your best repair tips?

We are adding a feature to the homepage that will highlight a new repair tip every day. We’re gathering tips to spotlight and we’re hoping you can help (who better than our community of fixers?).

While we love a good electronics repair tip, don’t limit yourself to just devices—there’s a lot more in the world that needs repair! We need tips about fixing everything from iPhones to cars to jewelry, and anything else you can think of that might break. Maybe you have some words of encouragement for someone about to embark on their first repair, or for someone who’s in the middle of a frustrating fix. Or maybe you’ve got a hack you discovered on your repair journey. Also, feel free to link to specific guides, answers, and videos!

When your tip is featured, we’ll give you credit for it by prominently displaying your fantastic username and linking to your iFixit profile. I’m collecting all of the tips this Monday (6/10) to feature on iFixit, but I’ll keep the thread open for you to continue to add to it forever.

Thanks everyone!

No ultrasonic to clean that jewelry? Use an old toothbrush and some toothpaste to scrub down that dingy diamond ring. Don’t worry, nothing is going to scratch that diamond. It’s also a good idea to renew the shine on that marriage as you put a renewed gleam on the semblance of it! Just don’t put pearls in a ultrasonic, warm soapy water for them.
